      I honestly think the best thing to do with them is just to leave them alone. They feed off attention, if nobody is there to listen or condemn them it’ll lose its novelty.

      Sure, some tankies will go on for ever, but isolating them is the best way of stopping recruitment and limiting the appeal of posting provocativist bullshit.

        You have a point.

        But I think it’s important to point out their bigotry and hatred. Since, yeah, I don’t think anyone can deny that capitalism and today’s market is incredibly unfair and wholly corrupt (though so are the few current communist states). It’s usually how these extremists operate, acknowledge a problem in society that everyone else recognises, but suppose radical ideas and solutions, unfortunately the solutions often end in bloodshed and violence.

      ok, but i don’t see any hate speech here. calling someone a “CIA shill” or “braindead cavemen(also known as liberals)” is pretty common political discourse these days. it’s lame and anyone saying that shit shouldn’t be taken seriously, but it’s not attacking protected classes or anything. to my knowledge, that doesn’t fall under any definitions of hate speech that i’m aware of.

      it’s just tribal cheerleading. boring derivative. but somewhat accepted, even if poor behavior.
